IMED 325 Interactive Design Perspectives

This course will introduce the student to the design perspectives encountered most often in interaction design. Design perspectives are attitudes towards how to design which reflect their political, social, and technological beliefs about design practice. Through readings and case studies, students will explore a variety of perspectives in the domain of digital interactive design. Students will delve into the foundations of design practice through different standpoints, histories, frames of reference and interpretations of different views of the ‘best’ way to design.
